Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles represent a cutting-edge frontier in the quest for sustainable urban mobility. By harnessing electric propulsion, eVTOLs offer a tantalizing glimpse into a future where the carbon footprint of short-haul air travel and urban commutes is significantly reduced.
As the global climate crisis accelerates, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent. Among the various sectors contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, transportation remains a significant player. In recent years, air taxis have emerged as a promising solution to alleviate urban congestion and reduce carbon emissions.
Aurora Flight Sciences, an aeronautics company acquired by Boeing in 2017, unveiled a solar-powered self-propelled aircraft called Odysseus back in late 2018, with the primary goal of helping researchers collect data on climate change from 2021 to 2022, a satellite operating system. for a fraction of the cost.
Slovenian Pipistrel is perhaps not the best-known player in the industry, yet he has already put many things on the table and won several awards with his innovations. The pioneer of eco-friendly aviation built the world’s first two-seater electric aircraft in 2007.
